Gymkhana

Hey guys, so i bet a few of you guys have heard about Gymkhana. For those who don't, it's a very small and technical race with a bit of autox/drift/timeattack all mixed in. And i was wondering if anyone knew how to tune a WRX to compete in such a competition. Or if anyone has any type of information i could read about this sport i would appreciate it.

Yeah, i've seen that video before, and i thought it was awesome, it was some video on youtube a while ago with a 240 and i just thought it was way better than drifting. But i just recently bought my car and realized it's potential for this in seeing this video a few days ago.

I was asking more so about.. How to tune my suspension/car to do this. And where competitions might be held... i checked Gymkhana USA, but they seem to not have any events going on. I want more overall info on this, not really looking for videos.

Hmmm, it's so tempting, but i probably won't get that mainly because my subie is my DD.

If your car is your DD, then you should not try this type of event. I dont know if you have an sti or not. But I would not recommend this in a WRX. A lot of abuse on the trans/tires/suspension. This type of eveny gymi**** is like a AutoX times 10. Like the Block vid, I know you wont be able to drive like him but just look at what that car goes through. Your decision though, GL

Yeah, i realized i probably wouldn't be able to do this type of event so i'm going to do rally instead. I hear you can enter a stock rallyx division so that's probably where i plan to head. Haha, i know i probably will never drive like Ken block or any of the greats, but it looks like a lot of fun. Maybe when i'm older or richer :] haha. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yeah, it did seem more... stunt / show than gymkhana. I know what real gymkhana is and i just liked it so much, it's like drifting, autox, and time attack. Just seemed like it would be a nice thing to try out.
